My LO memory has declined according to her recent memory test she had a few months ago. Her neurologist prescribed a medication called Memantine. The first week she was doing fine, but the second week there has been some changes. She tells me she is drowsy, dizzy and feels funny. I noticed her mood has changed since taking this medication. She does not want to do much other than stay in bed now because she does not feel well according to her. I left a message for her doctor to let her know about what’s been going on these last few days.

Just wanted to reach out to see if anyone else has been having issues with this medication and how you handled this. Thank you
